Army.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old



Remember always that you are to defend not only the soil of your country, but the life of your civilization, and remember that your civilization has this great quality; it can be defended only by those who understand it with their minds and adorn it by their conduct.

- Governor General Vincent Massey speaking at CMR Saint-Jean in 1952
